Hull Accent

Hearth and Home? Household goods? (I'm not from Hull, BTW, but that's how many here 'up north' would pronounce it! )

Heard at football: 'Er ner they've gorra gerl'. (Oh no! The opposing team appear to have scored.)

I was thinking on the lines of "House and Home" ?

Fireplaces and home furnishings? (Hearth and Home)

Oh my you're good. Yes, it's Hearth and Home lol.

Easy!

Dialects, pronunciation and use of words are fascinating!

I well remember a very Devonian colleague coming out with the sentence;

"But where's Missus too? Her should be here so us can tell she about it!"

A tad like the comment by Eric Morcambe to Mr Preview, re all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

I always think the Hull accent sounds a bit Scandinavian. And why wouldn't it.

Thinking about it, wouldn't it be pronounced 'Arthur Nerm' in Hull?

I don't now about Arthur Nerm but I remember Arfur Sixpence.

typo, know not now.

It would be a dull place if we all sounded alike.

I spent 3 happy years as a student in Hull.

A lot of people come to Hull Uni and never leave the city because they discover it's not the horrible place they thought it would be.

I hope you're all planning to visit in 2017 when we're the City of Culture

I was going to say fireplaces! But someone beat me to it.

'I wunna gunna go on buzz down town terday, me duck'

(Staffordshire)

Perhaps I should visit 'ull and get mesef culchered!

You would be pleasantly surprised if you did visit

I love to listen to different accents and guessing where they are from,well done Hull on City of Culture in 2017,I have only been there twice and found it a very friendly place I would make the effort to go again as we where made very welcome indeed.

When we lived in Hampshire I was asked by one girl to teach her friend to talk properly as she could not understand what her friend was saying; one from town and one from country Hampshire. I was from Hull.
I have never pronounced it 'ull. I would have been told off by my mother.

I have only been to Hull once (apart from getting on and off ferries to and from Rotterdam). We went to The Deep and then had a walk round the town. We thought it was a lovely town and we loved the Maritime Museum - I love maritime art and models of ships - could have stayed all day! They were redeveloping the area around The Deep and I would like to see what it looks like now, so perhaps another visit is overdue.

There is more development taking place at the Deep now. It's going to be brilliant when it's finished.

If anyone does come I'd recommend you take a ride on the land train. The chaps who run it do a very funny but historically accurate potted history of Hull as it takes you round.

The landlord of our local pub here in Brum is from Hull. His attempts at a Black Country accent are hysterical

I just love accents full stop.

The snobbery of our use of accents is , thank goodness, is getting put in it's box somewhat these days.

I think it is possibly all to do with t.v. For example I don't think most people care if a presenter has a silver spoon voice any more. We have a more cohesive society and 'class' and whether you are ' posh' or not is the domain of those dinosaurs who want to keep people in their place, whether it be inverted snobbery or not, it works both ways.

Accents make us who we are and I'm very happy I have mine.

My DH has a couple of T-shirts with Black Country 'speak' on them such as 'Yowm Ovin a Lof' (You are having a laugh) and 'Z is for stripey oss'
(as in Z is for zebra)
